Multiple OS

An Operating System is the fundamental software that controls a PC. It controls how your hardware functions, the communication with peripherals for instance a monitor, a printer or a keyboard, the allocation of memory between applications, plus the prioritization of applications in case multiple ones run at once. Each program that is installed on a computer works by sending requests to the OS for different services by using an application program interface (API). The contact with the OS can be performed through a Graphical User Interface (GUI) or a command line. In the Internet hosting field, the OS is what commands a web server as well as all the software installed on it, which includes not only website scripts, but, in addition any other application such as a VOIP or a game server. In case there're virtual machines created, they employ a guest OS that runs on the server host OS.

Multiple OS in VPS

We provide as many as three different Linux releases for the Operating System of our virtual private servers - Debian, CentOS and Ubuntu. These are among the safest and the most reliable OSs out there and we supply all three of them instead of only one as we realize that you might want to install some software with specific requirements with regards to the Operating System it shall run on. The latter is due to the fact that each of the three Operating Systems has a vast support community behind it and there're different software programs you could install on the hosting server. Your OS selection will also determine what hosting Control Panel can be set up on the VPS if you would like to use one and because of this we offer multiple Control Panels too. In the event you decide that you want some other OS, our tech support team can quickly wipe the existing one and install the one that you want. In addition, we offer an optional service to have the OS on your VPS updated weekly.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Hosting

The dedicated servers we offer can be set up with as many as 3 different Operating Systems because we want to give you more flexible solutions which will permit you to install and run any type of web software whatever its system requirements. The choices are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these 3 OSs are among the most dependable and safe ones, not mentioning that they do not have any license fees. All three have thousands of developers that have created a large number of software packages that you can install and use on your web hosting server. We also offer three hosting Control Panels and which one you can use will depend on the Operating System that you choose when you sign up. If you need another OS later, it won't be a problem because we can always reinstall your server. With our Managed Services package we could also keep your OS secure by updating it on a weekly basis with any patches which are available for it.
